who are returning East, ana VINO uo
not wish to retrace their steps back to
st. Louis, to strike the trunk lines over
which their regular tickets are good,
as we do not apprehend there will be
any difficulty in making suitable ar
rangements with connecting lines to
transport all comrades north to the
points where their roads will intersect.
Arrangements will also be perfected
for visiting many local places of inter-
est Forest Park, fair grounds, at
which place it is hoped that suitable
arrangements may be made to have
sham battle, to be fought by old vet
eran soldiers, recalling TO their memo
ries the stirring events of an actual
campaign, and affording our visitors
and citizens an opportunity of wit
Messing something which will proba-
bly, never be again enacted-a mimic
battle fought by men who will be but
rehearsing actual events in which
they have all participated in its stern
and bloody realities, showing the at
tack, the defense, the repulse, the
charge and the victory. Also visiting
Tower Grove Park, Shaw's botanical
garden and Lafayette Park.
The committee have also had an in
terview with the manager of the pam
Drama, Fourteenth and Washington
avenue, and have been assured that a
change has been contemplated by
which one of the battle scenes of the
late war will take the place OF the pres
ent siege of Paris now on exhibition
at that place, And last, but not least,
the Grand Exposition, which will be
at its best during the entire week OF
encampment, affording constant
source of pleasure and entertainment
to the visitors. This entertainment,
as all know, and as the visitors will
know, after visiting it, is far superior,
as an exposition, to anything of this
kind ever before attempted in this
country and will furnish new surprises
and delightful entertainments for the
visitor each time it is visited the WIS.,
itor never getting tired of admiring
the many new beauties each day will
develop, affording day and night
amusement for thousands.
The committee also expect to per-
feet arrangements for parade OF the
military, fire department and bicycle
club of the city the week of encamp-
ment.
